Release Tag

Format a Version Label

Release scripts commonly turn a version number into a tag name and a short status line.

Program

Play the script to choose a version and see the generated release tag.

release_tag.sh 
#!/usr/bin/env bash

version=
prefix="v"
tag="${prefix}${version}"
echo "tag=$tag"

#!/usr/bin/env bash

version=
prefix="v"
tag="${prefix}${version}"
echo "tag=$tag"
version A version string identifies the release contents.
tag prefix A small prefix policy keeps generated tags consistent.
release label The final tag can be passed to a real release command later.
